Empower

by Marshall Foran

Our culture and education system are wholly focused on external measures of youth achievement, which recognizes an adolescent’s value through GPAs, trophies, and awards. We ask our boys to strive for this type of success as if their lives depend on it. Meanwhile, the depth of their inner self is screaming to be heard, taught and progressed.

While struggling to measure up, boys are subjected to a masculinization process that denies their emotional needs and pressures them to embrace shallow, damaging male stereotypes . Often “beaten down” to become something manly, boys are suffering to find themselves, meaning and motivation in life.

Empower shows parents, coaches, educators and counselors how to shift the focus from coveted external markers of achievement to developing critical life skills, vision, intellectual curiosity and emotional intelligence that will help boys find purpose in their life, passion in their interests and drive on their way to becoming amazing men.
